Escape from Hos

In Reply to: Question about a patient escaping from hospital. - No Name

My mom escaped from a psych hosp when I was about 12 years old. It was in the middle of winter. She had no coat, no nothing. Went to someone's house and asked for a ride. They actually drove her to her house. I came home from school and there she was.

It's definitely the escape key in Instant text. Others I don't know.

I thought it was Ctrl/X or the Escape key,

I think hitting escape at the end does it, or make other shortcuts for the long

when you "take care of his kids" to try to keep them away, you are enabling him to escape
consequences for his actions. Alcoholics only stop drinking when the pain outweighs the pay off. Here is what you can do for yourself: Go to Al-Anon. The only requirement for membership is a drinking problem in a relative or friend. The counselor for your BIL, if he is worth his salt at all, will recommend the family go to Al-Anon. The family. That's you.
